Typhoon Utor Route Characteristics
Path and Moving Characteristics
Typhoon Utor (201311) began its lifecycle as a tropical depression at 20:00 on August 9, 2013, at an initial position of 13.8°N, 132.6°E. From its formation until landfall in the Philippines, the system maintained a generally stable west-northwestward trend. Analysis of its coordinate sequence shows that its latitude rose slowly from 13.8°N to 16.1°N, while its longitude shifted rapidly westward from 132.6°E to 122.2°E, indicating strong westward movement.
该Typhoon 的路径转折点出现在穿越Philippines吕宋岛之后. 8月12日03:00Landfall吕宋岛E部coastal 后, 受地形摩擦及环境场影响, 其Moving direction发生显著调整, 由WNW转为NW direction, 并逐渐 toward N分量增加. Go to S海后, 路径趋 at 稳定, 持续 toward NW直至再次Landfall. 8月14日15:50在Guangdong阳W二次Landfall后, 系统深入内陆, Moving速度减缓, 最终 at 8月16日02:00在24.3°N, 111.4°E附近减弱消散. 整个生命周期历时约6天半, track points多达99个, 轨迹清晰且连贯.
Intensity evolution and historical comparison
Utor's Intensity changes show the typical 'Augmented-land weakening-Sea Resistance-Landfall decline' characteristics.On the open ocean surface, the system experienced explosive enhancements, from August 9th's 15m/s Tropical Depression, rapidly developing to August 12th's 02:00 Super Typhoon, the center's lowest air pressure dropped to 925hPa, max wind to 60m/s, reaching the peak of life history.
After Go to S Sea, Utor did not continue to weaken, but instead reorganized andined the longer Time Severe Typhoon Intensity (42m/s, 955hPa), this high Intensity state that lasted from 08:00 on August 13 to 16:00 on August 14, showing its good energy retention in warm sea waters.
In comparison with the same name Typhoon, the 2013 Utor peak intensity was significantly high at 2001 No. 4 Typhoon Utor. 2013 Utor minimum air pressure was 925hPa, max wind 60m/s (Super Typhoon); and 2001 Utor peak was only Typhoon level, minimum pressure 963hPa.
